Blog Tour Stop & Review: Word by Harry Hallman

Word by Harry Hallmana short story"When a word game turns deadly, how do you fight it?" Who do you go to for help? Martin must answer these questions before he becomes the next victim of an insidious plot. In a single day Martin's simple life as a business executive is turned upside down, because of his fascination with word games. And he is not the only one in danger.My Review

Word
is the perfect short story for those who enjoy a bit of a mystery. Martin is a
professional man who like many others, is addicted to a word game on his mobile
phone. As unusual events unfold throughout the day, an unknown player begins to
antagonize Martin. Soon enough a deadly plot unfolds. Who will win?

I
like the plot a lot because it really connects to modern day life and the popularity of phone apps and games. I was
hooked on each word of the game as the story became more suspenseful. Hallman
did an excellent job hiding the identity of the unknown player until the very end.
Pretty surprising!
